FAQs
What are the most common signs that my blower motor needs repair or replacement?
Typical indicators include weak or no airflow through the vents, unusual noises such as squealing, grinding, or rattling when the system runs, frequent system short-cycling, a burning smell, the furnace or air handler overheating and shutting off, and a sudden spike in energy bills. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Hillsboro home, it’s best to schedule an inspection before the motor fails completely.
How fast can your technicians get to my Hillsboro home for blower motor or heat repair?
We provide same-day service on most calls received before noon and 24/7 emergency response for no-heat situations. Our centrally dispatched technicians are stationed throughout Washington County, allowing us to reach the majority of Hillsboro neighborhoods within 60-90 minutes during normal business hours.
Do you work on both gas furnace and heat-pump/air-handler blower motors?
Yes. Our EPA-certified technicians service and replace blower motors in all major HVAC configurations, including gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, and packaged rooftop units. We carry a wide inventory of universal and OEM motors, capacitors, and blower wheels to ensure most repairs can be completed in a single visit.
What does a blower motor repair or replacement typically cost?
Costs vary with motor horsepower, speed settings, and whether the part is OEM or a universal replacement. In Hillsboro, straightforward repairs such as capacitor or relay replacement usually range from $150–$300. Full motor replacements generally run $450–$900 for standard PSC motors and $900–$1,600 for variable-speed ECM motors. We always provide a written, upfront estimate before any work begins.
Is there anything I can check before calling for professional service?
You can perform a few safe steps: 1) Make sure the thermostat is set to HEAT and the fan setting is AUTO or ON. 2) Check the furnace or air-handler switch and the breaker in your electrical panel. 3) Inspect or replace the air filter—an excessively dirty filter can cause the blower to overheat and shut down. 4) Ensure all supply and return vents are open and unobstructed. If the blower still will not run or is making abnormal sounds, turn off the system and call us to avoid further damage.
Do you offer preventive maintenance plans to extend blower motor life?
Absolutely. Our Comfort Club members receive two seasonal tune-ups per year that include motor amperage checks, capacitor testing, shaft lubrication (where applicable), and cleaning of the blower wheel and housing. Regular maintenance helps reduce wear, improve efficiency, and often validates manufacturer warranties—all while lowering the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns during Hillsboro’s cold, damp winters.
